A Clarkson man on pre-trial diversion after a February arrest for methamphetamine possession has again been arrested on drug charges after a traffic stop.
Saturday night at approximately 11:35, Grayson County Deputy Nick Pruitt was on patrol when he observed a 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier, being driven by 36-year-old Jeremy D. Patterson, make a left turn onto Renfro Street in Clarkson without using a turn signal, according to the arrest citation.
“As the vehicle was stopping I observed the male reaching” into the center console, Pruitt wrote in the citation. Upon making contact with the driver and through further investigation, Pruitt determined Patterson was driving on a suspended license.
During a search of the vehicle, police located a bag of methamphetamine and a methamphetamine pipe in the center console, the citation states.
Patterson was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), possession of drug paraphernalia, driving on a suspended license, failure to wear a seat belt, and failure to or improper signal.
